Smart Docs Film Production
With the odd exception, every film we make has to do three things:
- Enrich your work
- Enhance individual and institution profiles
- Attract funding
You may have other goals as well, but if the film doesn't do these jobs, it has probably failed. These are the benchmarks by which we can judge the success of a film because they speak to your core business. This is what we mean by making film respond to your priorities, rather than to those of the film industry. Productions still have to be of the highest quality, but they need to address these values.
At this level, our aims don't change because we only work with academic, medical, and cultural institutions.
A fourth, extremely important aspect is time, which we know is always in very short supply. Feeling your way to a film with a non-specialised film maker can take hours or days longer than it has to. We save you time by taking you through a three-step process from planning to execution to refinements.
(To save a substantial amount of time, we need to look at the institution's infrastructure and the way it leverages media; an entirely different intervention and something we love to talk about. Have a look at our consultation page.
Film Type
We help you to choose and plan the right kind of film. We have identified over forty types from legacy films to promotional films, from lecture recordings to scrollytelling. We'll walk you through the options we think will meet your goals.
We look after every stage of production for you, helping you plan the film and make sure that we don't miss anything out. Even if you've never commissioned a film before, we have workflows and structures for every step so that the process is transparent and efficient.
We make sure that every film is of the highest quality, looks the part, and meets your Impact, engagement, and other goals. A film has to look the part, serve a wider project context, and have a strategic goal.
We take you through three, structured rounds of refinements (structure, specifics, and sign-off). We'll agree on what success looks like and make sure the film meets those standards.
We will deliver and help you put the finished film into a context that meets your needs. This could be as simple as twitter, or as complex as a Scrollytelling or a screening.
We will guide you through any other details such as transferring copyright to you, creating archives, transferring raw footage to you, creating thumbnail images, and so on.

NEW YORK -- In an era of global economic challenge, American business is wasting time counting the paper clips.
That`s the disturbing message of the latest batch of annual reports surveyed for this column by William P. Dunk, a communications analyst and corporate adviser. In his annual report on annual reports, Dunk has kept readers of this column ahead of major business developments.
``In our opinion,`` the boss of New York`s William Dunk Partners tells me, ``investors should not be encouraged by what we see in 1986 annual reports. We see managements paying attention to the small stuff, not the big issues. We seem to be entering a year of micro-management, not mega-leadership.``
Dunk is convinced that the root problem is that the MBAs have come of age -- ``they`re running more things and even writing annual reports`` -- and that ``the professors have seized hold of the mindset of corporate America.`` (``Why else has everyone learned that the magic word for all seasons is `restructuring`?``)
As usual, Dunk throws highly specific darts. Alco Standard`s report dwells on ``productivity enhancement, expense control and work force management.`` James River talks about ``market focus, high value-added products, stability of demand, substantial market share.`` General Instrument works on ``cost reductions, quality, new products and market leadership.`` Black & Decker promises to ``improve core business profitability, continue to strengthen management, broaden the earnings base, and achieve and maintain an acceptable return on shareholders` equity.``
``If all this sounds like a vapid recitation from a business school catechism, it is,`` says Dunk. ``As never before, the MBAs are the managers. And we`re a little lacking in business leaders (the philosophy and history majors) who have a vision and policy for 1988 and beyond.``
But if the reports now appearing present a ``bleak`` outlook for the long- term investor, in Dunk`s judgment, they are not all hopeless. For instance, he praises Matrix Corp. and Pall Corp. for ``forcibly addressing the world economic challenge`` and emphasizing exports.

Sundance 2012: Magnolia Pictures Wrapping Up Deal for 'Nobody Walks' (Exclusive)
The U.S. Dramatic Competition film premiered at the Eccles Theatre on Sunday night.
North American rights to Ry Russo-Young's Nobody Walks are being acquired by Magnolia Pictures. The film, which is screening in Sundance's U.S. Dramatic Competition section, is being sold in a mid-to-high six figures deal against significant gross incentives, according to a source close to the negotiations. The deal includes a theatrical commitment.
The drama, co-written by Russo-Young and Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture), centers on a young woman from New York who upends a family she stays with in Los Angeles while working on a movie.
Nobody Walks stars John Krasinski, Olivia Thirlby, Rosemarie DeWitt, Justin Kirk, India Ennenga and Dylan McDermott.
Josh Braun of Submarine represented the filmmakers in the sale.
Jonathan Schwartz, Andrea Sperling and Alicia Van Couvering produced Nobody Walks and Audrey and Zygi Wilf executive produced.
Magnolia picked up North American rights to the horror film V/H/S for north of $1 million early Thursday morning (Magnet Releasing, Magnolia's genre arm, will distribute the film), and it also nabbed the documentary The Queen of Versailles earlier during the festival.
On Wednesday, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions and Samuel Goldwyn Films grabbed North American rights to Robot & Frank for slightly more than $2 million; IFC Films purchased North American rights to Josh Radnor's Liberal Arts for seven figures; and Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions closed a deal to pick up U.S. rights to Arbitrage for a day-and-date theatrical-VOD release, much as the companies did for the 2011 Sundance thriller Margin Call. The sale price was just north of $2 million.

Rapper Kanye West has cut ties with his Yeezus tour DJ Million Dollar Mano.
No reason has been given for the split, but one eager fan has compiled a video of Mano's most noticeable mistakes during the ongoing trek and uploaded the clip to YouTube.com.
The footage features Mano missing his cue to drop the beat after West begins rapping his verse on the remix to Chief Keef's track I Don't Like, leaving the superstar having to deal with an awkward silence.
Mano, who produced Lost In The World on West's 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, addressed the news on his Twitter.com account on Wednesday (13Aug14), taking aim at fans of West who have been bombarding him with nasty comments.
He wrote, "gonna have a fun day blocking these kanye stans (super fanatics) that are happy i don't dj 4 him anymore hahahahaha! a lot of u fans are low key gay and want more than a fan/relationship with the men they look up 2 (sic)."
A replacement has yet to be announced. He or she will make his or her live debut at the end of the month (Aug14) when Kanye takes the stage at Jay Z's Made In America festivals in Pennsylvania and Los Angeles.

Shower. Saturday , May 20th , 2017 - 07:29:09 AM
Shower curtains come in different size and shape, as far as the rod width is concerned. You have to select one that will fit your bathroom structure, design and shower area.However, since shower curtains are usually lightweight curtains, light metal rods are perfect to hang the curtains. As far as the length of the rod is concerned, it will depend on your bathroom height. The shower curtain rods need to be durable and long lasting because these rods have to withstand daily use.
Waterfall shower heads have a unique shape, the head is usually shaped like a cylinder or long rectangle. Some just screw onto the existing base. These have a T-like shape. Some are installed directly in the shower stall wall via a console like fixture, or are just simply cut out and lined with a plate fixture.

Following reports today that the National Trust is facing a legal challenge from Ineos Shale, John Mann MP has called for an end to "bully-boy tactics" in the Fracking industry.
Bassetlaw MP John Mann commented: "Ineos is starting seismic testing this week across 250 square km of the East Midlands."
"The National Trust refused to allow Ineos access to carry out tests on its land. Now Ineos is not only threatening to sue but refusing to give a share of the 6 per cent of total revenues it has pledged to landowners and communities."
"It is absolutely right that the National Trust wants to protect our places of natural beauty. Local people will be deeply unimpressed by Ineos' bully-boy tactics."

PPP wants Parliament body to oversee security sector
With heavy criticism being heaped upon the government over its handling of the security sector, ruling People's Progressive Party believes a Parliamentary Oversight Committee would help to address any concerns.
General Secretary of the PPP, Mr Clement Rohee said that while his party wants to see the Committee set up, the main opposition APNU is reluctant.
Mr Rohee said the Parliamentary Oversight Committee would provide the best mechanism for the resolution of security related issues. The PPP believes that the Opposition's reluctance to have this oversight body in place is because the committee must be headed by the government Minister.

Indian History is full of men who have left an indelible mark that can be appreciated. But there is one man who has not been given his due by Indian writers and Historians. He is Robert Clive, who certainly would rank higher that any of the Mughal emperors or Moslem kings.
Robert came to India as a young clerk and worked in the East India company. But his acumen was recognized by all and by dint of his ability he rose up in the hierarchy. He was subsequently inducted into the army and rose to the rank of Major General. Cliveis recognized as the epitome of the soldier politician who laid the foundations of the British Raj.
Clive (1725-1774) lived only for 49 years, but in those years he did more for India and the Raj and by corollary for the Hindus than anyone else for 600 years. A reading of Nirad C Choudhary's classic book 'Clive of India' brings out the state of Indian society at the time Clive set foot in India. The Hindus were treated like serfs and had no political power. They were also required to pay the Jizzia tax which was imposed by the Moslem rulers. Their temples were razed and Mosques built in their place. Allin all the society was divided and polarized.
Clive took full advantage of this situation and laid the foundation of the Raj, that was to endure for 200 years. He brought in a new order and India began to slowly move forward. But his biggest contribution is to the establishment of the Raj. This became a reality after his stupendous victory in the Battle of Plessay (1757) in Bengal. Clive with a very small force was able to defeat a much bigger force of the Moslem Nawab of Oudh-Siraj ud dowlah.
What was Clive's contribution to India? The Historian Lord Macaulay wrote that Robert Clive can be compared to Napoleon Bonaparte and was one step better as he gave peace, security, prosperity and such liberty as the case allowed to millions of Indians, who had for centuries been the prey of oppression. One may or may not agree with Macaulay, but there is no denying the fact that Clive set in motion the wheels of the Raj that ushered in a period of emancipation for the Hindus and other oppressed people. Clive committed suicide in 1774. But we can in hind sight, confer the title 'The Great' on him.

Temporary reduction in July and August will save typical electric customer more than $15
SRP's Board of Directors has approved an overall average 3.7 percent decrease in electricity prices for the two hottest months of this year. The decrease will save the typical residential customer about $7.60 per month, or about a combined $15.20 for the July and August billing cycles.
SRP's publicly elected board made the decision during a special meeting June 23.
The temporary reduction will take effect with the July 2016 billing cycle. Prices will return to the original summer season price approved in 2015 for the September 2016 billing cycle.
The temporary reduction is possible because SRP has been able to reduce expenses in two components of its electric prices.
The first is what's known as the Fuel and Purchased Power Adjustment Mechanism, or FPPAM, which recovers fuel costs incurred to generate electricity, as well as power purchases to serve customer needs. Savings in this area are primarily because of lower-than-anticipated natural gas costs.
The second is the Environmental Programs Cost Adjustment Factor, or EPCAF, which involves costs related to renewable energy and energy-efficiency programs adopted to meet SRP's sustainable portfolio standard. The temporary reduction reflects SRP's ability to meet its sustainable goals at a lower-than-expected cost to customers.
The costs of these two components to SRP are directly passed through to customers without any markup.
According to SRP Chief Executive Officer and General Manager Mark Bonsall, management elected to propose reducing prices during the July/August timeframe because a decrease in the two hottest months of the year could provide relief for residential customers when it is needed most.
SRP is always looking to help customers save money, with easy and practical energy efficiency tips.

I've owned these drums for about 2 months.I love this kit! For the $$$$ it's a nice unit with great sound. This kit is very versitale and the module interface is simple and works perfect. All the drums are tuneable and adjustable like real shells. You can also dial in the pads so not to activate another drum. I use these drums regularly and feel they are pretty durable I go through more sticks than anything. If you can test drive these out before buying you won't be disappointed.

Synopsis:Angelfall so much that I didn't forget what happened in the story even after a year later.
In this sequel to the bestselling fantasy thriller, Angelfall, the survivors of the angel apocalypse begin to scrape back together what's left of the modern world.
When a group of people capture Penryn's sister Paige, thinking she's a monster, the situation ends in a massacre. Paige disappears. Humans are terrified. Mom is heartbroken.
Penryn drives through the streets of San Francisco looking for Paige. Why are the streets so empty? Where is everybody? Her search leads her into the heart of the angels' secret plans where she catches a glimpse of their motivations, and learns the horrifying extent to which the angels are willing to go.
Meanwhile, Raffe hunts for his wings. Without them, he can't rejoin the angels, can't take his rightful place as one of their leaders. When faced with recapturing his wings or helping Penryn survive, which will he choose?
Everyone thought that Penryn is dead. She rescued Paige and got stung by the scorpion locust that slowed her heartbeat and paralyzed her entire body. When she finally wakes up, the people from their camp thought she was an anomaly just like Paige who is stitched back together like some Frankenstein experiment. She tries to fend for Paige but she's different now, she couldn't even keep any human food down. When Paige attacks and feeds from a human who initially tried to harm Penryn, she was almost killed by the people from the camp but they were herded by the locusts. Paige ran away and Penryn tried to find her again. Along the way, Penryn did her best to know what truly happened to her sister and where is Raffe.
I was a little disappointed with World After. I mean, the world building was still crafted beautifully and Penryn is still kickass but I wasn't that really impressed with the development of the story. It dragged. It would have been nice if the slow pace is compensated with a thorough and well-slated back plot but it didn't. I still have a ton of questions left from Angelfall only to be jumbled up with the questions from World After. The Apocalypse business isn't still clear. Instead of getting answers, the story focused on Penryn and only Penryn. There were parts and moments that didn't add up to the entirety of the novel and I think it would have been a good opportunity to present what is lacking. Well, benefit of the doubt, there's still books 3 and 4 so those might provide the best answers to all this.
Also, am all about Raffe here. Without the legions of angels and Raffe of course, this wouldn't have happened. But Raffe's part here was just minimal. It was starting to get annoyed that I was past half the book and he's still nowhere to be found. It was that moment when I was so tempted to DNF it. I found Rafee finally only to be separated with him again. Like, I was only with him for a hundred pages or even less. And honestly, I want unlimited Raffe.
What I enjoyed though are the obvious things: Penryn is still the kickass protogonist I met in Angelfall, Paige (though not the Old Paige) went from being vulnerable to someone who can defend herself (the way she did morbid things to Beliel left me in awe), Raffe, though torn with whatever he was sworn to to falling in love with the Daughter of Man, remains rational, brave, romantic and handsome and my favorite of all, the mystery behind Pooky Bear.
World After is a promising sequel to Angelfall. With its undeniably chaotic world to unbearably romantic struggles, it did try to deliver what was expected of it. Dark world, morbid ways of living and horrible creatures await -- reasons to be hopeful until we get Book 3.
"Body language says a lot in the world, and the last thing I need is to look vulnerable."
"You're a hero. I'm hoping you'll restore my faith and show me that we're worth saving."
"You broke me out of the grasp of a living horror when I thought all hope was gone. You gave me the opportunity to crawl back to life when no one else could."
"I watch him get far from me. He never even knew I was near."
""Don't let me go," he says."

Why Japan capitalists are looking past Tokyo
January 23rd, 2017 Adrian Diocesan Editorial, International Agency 0 remarks
Tightening capitation prices in Tokyo are creating some Japanese capitalists to switch over to Osaka, Fukuoka as well as various other cities, claims prominent worldwide company, Savills.
Financial investment quantities Financiers are still really positive on Japan, yet have additionally come to be a lot more cautious, according to the Savills Japan Spotlight 2016 evaluation and also 2017 potential customers.
" Financiers cite the relative security of Japanese realproperty as an important function, particularly provided the uncertainty presently provoking other markets. Core financial investment chances will likely continue to be limited, however, as long as costs stay high and also refinancing remains extremely appealing, as well as investment quantities can continue to be level as an outcomebecause of this," the report aimsmentions.
On the other hand, obtaining prices may soon start to increase. 10-year Japanese Government Bond (JGB) yields have actually climbed up back to favorable area given that the United States political election. The Bank Of Japan has tacitly indicated that it could consider tapering its property purchases soon – if it proceeds buyingpurchasing its present rate, monetary establishmentsbanks can lack federal government bonds to offer within a few years, states Savills.
" A sudden relocation is not likely, however also a steady change in borrowing mindset can incentivise vendors to sell off as well as, at a macro level, aid deal quantities boost. Lenders' existing traditionally high direct exposure to the realrealty market as well as the FSA's problems over home fundings may make financial institutions extra discerning in borrowing. Currently, however, we anticipate banks to proceedremain to offer financings, especially to institutional investors with great credit report, even if they end up being extra discerning in lending to lower their finance direct exposure."
Residential assets are a preferred option in both Tokyo and in distant regions and also apartment structures can frequently trade for lower rates as well as greater yields than office assets, making them eye-catching to varied groups of financiers.
" Cap rates for mid-market household building are about 4% since Q4/2016. Deluxe household developments are additionally in demand and also can trade at yields also tighter."
Cap prices for household homehouse have tightened to 4% in main Tokyo, going downstopping by 0.4 ppts against a year earlier. Nevertheless, the spread vs 10-year JGBs is likewise still roughly 4%, a return tough to attain in many various otherThe spread vs 10-year JGBs is additionally still approximately 4%, a return tough to achieve in a lot of various other markets. "Cap rates appear to have quickly compressed towards the end of the year, as well as additionally compression is much less most likely in the domestic area compared to in other industries."
Investment in Japanese property possessions amounted to JPY256billion in the year to Quarter 3, 2016. This is 27% reduced compared tobelow the One Year to Quarter 3, 2015. Proprietors are preferring to re-finance at reduced prices rather thanas opposed to sell off, decreasing total volumes.
Tightening up cap rates have actually encouraged financiers to seekchoose chances in Japan's local cities. Osaka specifically has actually been seeing increased volumes loved one to Tokyo from provided firms as well as J-REITs.
Recurring urbanisation means that huge local cities, not just Tokyo, are likewise seeing populace increases. Fukuoka has the highest populace development rate of every one of Japan's 23 ordinance-designated cities. It went beyond Kobe to come to be Japan's fifth largest designated city in very early 2016, as well as the Fukuoka Municipal Federal government tasks continued growth over the next Twenty Years. "Both Osaka as well as Fukuoka can supply financially rewarding investment opportunities if underlying fundamentals remain audio."
New real estate starts in Tokyo have actually worked out at about 140,000 devices every year because the dilemma, and have actually remained at that degree for the previous four years. Slightly under fifty percent of this annual supply is rental housing, while the majoritymost of the remainder is available for sale.
In 2016, the agreement price for new condos in Tokyo's 23 wards has actually slowed down. This schedules at leastat the very least in part to steadily raising condo costs over the last fi ve years, which reached a new intermittent high of over one million yen each square metre in the 23-ward area.
Inning accordance with Tokyo Kantei, an evaluator, the proportion of newly built condominium rates to average annual income stands at 11.3-times in 2016, up from 10.6-times the previous year. Osaka's ratio is 6.7-times, up from 6.3-times in 2015.
Rental occupancy in Tokyo's 23 wards was 96.2% since November 2016, a decrease of 10bps YoY yet still pleasantly above 95%, based on a survey of residential or commercial properties held by selected J-REITs
Mid-market property leas balanced JPY11,974 per tsubo in Tokyo's 23 wards in Quarter 4, 2016, and also JPY13,892 in the C5W area. This stands for YoY increases of 0.5% and also 0.2% respectively.
Rental development appears to have slowed rather in 2016, however the fad is still positive. Feasible wage boosts as well as urbanisation must proceed to place steady higher stress on rental fees, or at the very leastat the very least keep them fairly stable, in 2017. Specific outer wards to watch can consist of Koto as well as Taito, both of which contain household areas and which have seen fairly stronger yearly development.

Painting Ragas with Alif Laila
Alif Laila, a US based sitarist, joins Milapfest for two Music for the Mind and Soul concerts this autumn. Alif's work is characterised by her fascination with the relationship between music and art. In her own practise, Alif uses her music to inspire her watercolour painting, which she then uses in her concerts to emphasize the mood and tempo of each raga.
Here, Alif tells us more about her practice and answers some questions posed by Archana Shastri (Milapfest):
Alif: The relation between watercolour painting and the Indian Classical music, which I experience through sitar, is both physical and philosophical. Both forms and mediums of expression have unbridled energy and unpredictability of the final outcome… that fascinates me! It's like fusing the boundaries of reality and illusion. The overlays of tones and textures that evolve while the painting is in progress is exactly the same as the moods of the harmonics produced by the resonating strings of the sitar while the main notes and phrases of the ragas are played in succession. The lateral pulling (meend), a predominant technique of the sitar and the combination of string techniques, is synonymous to flow of the colors in water and the brush strokes that are used in attempt to control it. The movement of the notes flow like the watercolour hues that create melody.
How do you feature your paintings within your sitar concerts?
The moods and the emotions of the ragas that I play are enhanced by the visual images of my watercolor paintings for the different ragas that I play at a concert. Each raga, the tempo and taal that I choose to play, evokes a feeling and transposes within me into the form of shapes, lines and colors and motion. I love to re-create this in watercolor. I create a set of paintings for each raga that are displayed in sync with the mood and tempo of the composition. The original paintings are digitally photographed and the computer images are projected in the background as the ragas unfold in the sitar on stage.
Do you consider yourself primarily a sitarist or equally an artist/painter and sitarist?
I consider myself equally as an artist/painter and sitarist. However I have chosen the sitar is my main instrument of expression. The colors, tones and textures of the Indian classical music are my paintings in melody.
Do you create your paintings first and create your music around that or are your paintings inspired by a piece of music that you play?
Most of the time my music inspires my paintings. And sometimes when I see a painting that I had already done, it reminds me of a particular raga that resonates within in.
Alif performs at The Capstone Theatre on 24 November and at Purcell Room, Southbank Centre on 29 November.

So glad that at last a classical artist of Bangladeshi origin is on the programming of Milapest.
Alif plays soulfully – the colours she brushes onto the canvas transfers to her improvisations of the Raga she chooses….. what evolves is a musical tapestry of all embracing emotions – nostalgia, sadness, joy and contentment.
Looking forward to the evening.

"If I died choking on a piece of bacon, I'd liken it to being murdered by a lover." — Jim Gaffigan, Food: A Love Story
I spent this last weekend in Pristina/Gracanice, with a bunch of my volunteer friends. There was a beer and wine festival in the city's center, so we had fun on Saturday night.
On Monday, the Peace Corps hosted an early 4th of July party for volunteers and trainees. I got to meet some members of the newest cohort, who arrived in Kosovo at the beginning of June.
Given that the weather lately has been really hot, and that the weather at last year's party was really hot, I was unprepared for a cold, rainy day. I accompanied my old language teacher and a group of trainees on a tour of Pristina, and I was freezing the whole time. 😦
I didn't take any photos that day, since it was overcast. But here is a picture I took on last year's tour and never posted:
My host mother was on vacation in Albania all last week. She got home on Monday. I was a bit nervous to hear what she'd have to say about my haircut — long hair seems to be the norm for women here in Kosovo, and Kosovars are pretty straight-forward with their opinions. But I told her I cut it for the summer, and she understood. She told me I have a lot of hair. 🙂
Media Consumption this week:
- I found a copy of Jim Gaffigan's Food: A Love Story. While parts were a bit long, overall, it was a laugh-out-loud funny book. I haven't read Gaffigan's first best seller, Dad is Fat, but I am planning to get it to at some point.
- I re-watched Bad Teacher. It makes me think of my sister, who is 1) a teacher but 2) not a bad one. (Kris, I bet you know which line of the movie I am thinking of as I type this … )
Have a good weekend!

Caddo people began to inhabit the Red River valley approximately 2,500 years ago. Around that time, the ancestors of the southern Caddo began to settle in permanent villages, build the first mounds, cultivate plants, and develop the use of ceramics. The backbone of the Caddo world was the Red River, but their extensive traditional territory, known as the Caddoan area, included southwestern Arkansas, northwestern Louisiana, northeastern Texas, and southeastern Oklahoma. The southern Caddo are related linguistically to the Wichita, Pawnee, and the Arikara through the Caddoan language group.
Caddo Organization
The early Caddo settled in hamlets and dispersed villages and occupied ceremonial centers with mounds for elite burials and ritual activities. They produced elaborate cane basketry, shell work, and ceramics and were renowned for their bois d'arc (Osage orange) bows, which they traded, along with salt and other goods, across the American Southeast and southern plains. The Caddo were sedentary and practiced agriculture, growing maize, beans, squash, and pumpkins. They also gathered seasonal foods such as nuts and berries and hunted extensively. The Caddo maintained a central religious and civil authority in their villages and ceremonial centers, each of which was structured around a hereditary chiefly lineage. Caddo kinship was primarily matrilineal, but by the time of European contact Caddo descent was trending toward a more bilateral system.
By the Late Caddoan Period, c. 1300–1680, the Caddo were organized in a widespread system of rural communities along rivers and streams. Late Caddo mound sites ranged from one to four small mounds, with larger towns placed along major waterways, primarily the Red and Ouachita rivers. At the time of European contact in the late seventeenth century, the era of Caddo mound building was drawing to a close, although Caddo people continued to utilize some mounds for ceremonial activities. The Caddo also participated in a vast social as well as trading network. Therefore, the Spanish in Texas and the French in Louisiana were anxious to make alliances with the Caddo Nation.
There were at least sixteen separate Caddo groups at the end of the seventeenth century. Variously referred to as villages, bands, or tribes, the nature of these divisions and their relationship to one another is poorly understood. Recognized as separate entities by colonial and US territorial administrators, by the mid-seventeenth century the Red River bands were collectively identified as "Caddo," derived from Kadohadacho, the primary Caddo division in the Red River Valley. Although early geographic groupings have been identified as confederacies, the arrangement of Caddo villages reflects a typical Southeastern pattern of east and west divisions of people connected by both kinship and tradition.
Population data for the Caddo at the beginning of the Historic Period (c. 1680–1700) is sketchy at best. Estimates range from 6,000 to as many as 250,000 precontact Caddo. What is certain is that by the time France established an outpost at Natchitoches in 1714, the Caddo had already suffered drastic population loss resulting from the introduction of European pathogens such as influenza and smallpox, to which they had no immunities. Caddo population continued to decline throughout the remainder of the colonial period and beyond, reaching a population nadir of about five hundred people in the 1890s.
The Arrival of European Settlers
The Caddo welcomed French colonials, who exchanged prestigious European goods like weapons, cloth, mirrors, and glass beads for deer hides, bear oil, livestock, and Indian slaves. French traders often took Caddo wives, and the nations formed a strong alliance through French Canadian adventurer Louis Juchereau de St. Denis and his descendants. Interactions between the St. Denis family and the Caddo came to dominate the regional economy in the Red River Valley throughout the eighteenth century. Colonial governors and administrators maintained diplomatic and commercial relations with the Caddo through a series of long-tenured chiefs called kaadii. The paramount Caddo chiefdom was centered in the Nasoni village near present-day Texarkana. Consolidation of the disparate Caddo divisions under this authority would intensify as Caddo population diminished in the late eighteenth century.
Throughout the French colonial period, the Caddo were treated as valued allies whose goodwill was secured through kinship, both real and fictive, as well as access to European goods, annual gifts, and advantages in trade. To the west, Spain had established largely ineffective missions among the Texas Caddo, who were attracted instead to French traders in Louisiana. Upon assuming control of the colony in 1763, Spain was forced to model its Indian policy on French practices. Spanish administrators appointed French Creoles with whom the Caddo had long-standing relationships to administer trade with the Indian nations. The mission system, a demonstrated failure among the Caddo in Spanish Texas, was abandoned altogether during the Spanish colonial period.
Despite its vast natural resources, Louisiana was an expensive colony with low rates of return for Spain. Spain was forced to retrocede Louisiana to France in 1800. Three years later, the United States purchased Louisiana and gained control over the port of Orleans and the Mississippi River. Under the Americans, conditions of existence for the Caddo would be dramatically and irrevocably altered. Vast, exploitable natural resources and tremendous agricultural potential drew thousands of American immigrants across the Mississippi River to establish plantations, farms, and businesses. The present state of Louisiana east of the Mississippi River saw fourteen thousand Anglo-American immigrants arrive by 1808. From New Orleans north and west, cotton and sugar plantations built upon slave labor flourished and, by 1812, cleared fields extended up Red River as far as Natchitoches.
At first, American territorial administrators maintained the status quo in structuring interaction with Louisiana Indians. As trade diminished in importance, however, and more Americans realized the agricultural potential of the rich Red River Valley, the Caddo found themselves increasingly marginalized. Competition for territory bred animosity between the American immigrants and the Caddo. In 1835, the Red River Caddo were forced to cede their traditional territory east of the Sabine River to the United States and join their relatives in Spanish Texas. The consolidated nation would find a permanent home in 1859, when the Caddo settled in the Washita River Valley in Indian Territory. Not until 1935 were the Caddo invited back to their homelands for the Shreveport centennial celebration. The city invited the Caddo to participate once again at the sesquicentennial in 1985.
In the ensuing century and a half, the Caddo Nation has maintained autonomy as a sovereign tribal nation with its own unique set of songs and dances, material culture, and language. The Turkey Dance is a series of more than fifty songs that are remembered in many Caddo dialects and recount occurrences in tribal history, including important battles and the creation of Caddo Lake. The Drum Dance documents Caddo cosmology and origins. Drummers lead dancers clockwise around the ground, stopping at each of the four cardinal directions. When the procession has completed its journey, the Caddo have effectively reenacted their cultural beginnings.
The contemporary tribal complex, which includes a museum and two community dance grounds, is situated in Binger, Caddo County, Oklahoma. The tribal administration includes the Cultural Preservation Office and Caddo Repatriation Committee, made up of elders who offer guidance on issues of archaeological and historical concern. Two cultural groups the Caddo Culture Club and the Hasinai Club—work with tribal youth to conserve and perpetuate Caddo culture. In the twenty-first century, Caddo people maintain close ties to their traditional homelands in Louisiana, returning often to honor their ancestors, revisit important sites, consult with academic and museum specialists, and dance on their ancient lands.Author: Dayna Bowker Lee

European stocks mainly fell on Thursday as investors reacted to a downbeat Italian bond auction before the release of US economic data and company results.
London's benchmark FTSE 100 index dipped 0.13 percent to 5,627.55 points in midday deals, while the Paris CAC 40 slid 0.24 percent to 3,229.84 points, but Frankfurt's DAX 30 rose 0.46 percent to 6,705.59.
Milan dropped 0.79 percent and Madrid sank 1.36 percent.
In foreign exchange trade, the euro rose to $1.3121 from $1.3108 late in New York on Wednesday, while prices for Italian and Spanish 10-year government bonds declined.
Italy raised 4.9 billion euros ($6.5 billion) in a bond issue on Thursday, just short of its maximum target as the rate on three-year bonds rose sharply from the last such sale.
Bond rates and prices move in opposite directions, and the Treasury had been hoping to raise a maximum of 5.0 billion euros.
Wall Street had rallied on Wednesday from steep losses on Tuesday, lifted by a surprise quarterly profit for aluminium producer Alcoa and easing eurozone bond yields.
Later Thursday, investors will digest a raft of economic data in the United States, following weaker-than-expected non-farm payrolls figures last week.
The focus will switch on Friday to crucial first-quarter economic growth data in Asian powerhouse China, as well as US consumer price inflation numbers.
Asian markets rebounded on Thursday after a three-day sell-off as renewed fears over eurozone debt were soothed with the ECB indicating it could step in if needed.
Sentiment was also boosted by ongoing speculation over looser Chinese monetary policy, dealers added.
European equities had meanwhile risen on Wednesday following heavy losses on Tuesday that were sparked by renewed fears over Spanish debt and weak global economic growth.
Sentiment was soothed after European Central Bank board member Benoit Coeure suggested that markets were overestimating the extent of Spain's problems, and did not rule out additional purchases of sovereign debt.
Back in Asia, ongoing jitters over the strength of the global economy kept a lid on gains Thursday while geopolitical concerns weighed amid North Korean plans for a rocket launch.
Hong Kong finished 0.93 percent higher, Tokyo added 0.70 percent, Sydney rose 0.81 percent, while Seoul fell 0.39 percent.
North Korea prepared to fire a long-range rocket which it says will place a satellite in orbit for peaceful research purposes.
Western critics see the launch as a thinly veiled ballistic missile test, and the United Nations has banned such tests by Pyongyang.

Scientists map out genetic locus for triglyceridesApril 26th, 2008 - 12:47 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Apr 26 (ANI): A group of researchers have mapped out a region on human chromosome 1 that contributes to genetically elevated blood triglyceride levels, a major risk factor for heart disease.
The main form of dietary fat, Triglycerides (TG), continuously circulate in the blood, but if their concentration elevates the risk of atherosclerosis and subsequently heart disease increases.
Circulating TG levels depend on many factors including diet, exercise, and smoking, but around 40 percent of the variation in the population is due to genetics.
In order to locate the genes contributing to increased TG levels, lad researcher Qing Wang and colleagues scanned 714 Caucasians from 388 families with premature heart disease.
They identified a novel region on chromosome 1, 1p31-32.
While this genetic locus does contain 375 known genes, the researchers highlighted three genes that are especially promising candidates: angiopoietin-like 3, which inhibits enzymes that break down fats; the receptor for the appetite hormone leptin; and sterol carrier protein 2, which helps convert cholesterol into bile acids.
The study has been published in Journal of Lipid Research (JLR). (ANI)

As a contractor, there are many unique risks you need to account for. Make sure you're covered.
Contractors Insurance
Be protected in the workplace with the right insurance
As is to expected of their work, contractors have a wide range of unique risks that they have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. Contractors are often in transit, which includes transporting their tools and equipment, as well as other employees and supplies, between several job sites. Along with this, expensive equipment and supplied can be stored both on- and off-site, which can make them vulnerable to theft or damage/destruction.
Given contractors secure jobs through various contractual agreements, it's important for them to be able to secure these jobs through the utilization of various contractual bonds - these provide security for both the contractor and those they are doing work for. Not only this, but the contractor also has to protect themselves in the event of any liability claims made against them.
With so many risk factors to account for, insurance is imperative to ensuring you can protect your job and your livelihood. AMC Insurance offers the following contractors insurance options within BC.
Other Important Insurance Products:

Bonds for securing work
In general, all surety bonds involve three parties. The surety (in this case, typically the insurance provider), the contractor (you), and the owner (the business or individual that you will be doing work for). Most surety bonds focus on having the surety guarantee the owner that if you fail to deliver on your contract, that the surety will reimbursed the owner for any financial issues this creates. Surety bonds can also include guarantees that the contractor will be legally obligated to amend any issues that are their fault that eventuate from their work after the fact.
In the world of insurance, finding an affordable insurance provider who also offers good coverage is not an easy task. Whatever insurance you're looking for, be it commercial insurance or personal insurance, we have the expertise to help you make the right choice.
